I stayed at this property for a total of 16 nights over a 4 week period. Warmly greeted each time. Key given shown up to my toom the first two weeks. Breakfast order taken. They were able to accommodate an early breakfast time to suit my work schedule. There were a couple of maintenance issues during my visit and staff were keen to correct these. Good pressure and plenty of hot water from the shower. Fresh towels midweek. Lots of local recommendations. A great stay!
Just a brief solo stay to attend show at The Apex. Which is a short walk away. Also close to shops etc. It was clean, comfortable & had what I needed no frills. It is pub so there was noise but no issues for me. Nice English Breakfast 8.30am only choice.
I stayed in room 1: it is very compact but the bed was very comfortable and the room was just the right temperature. There was noise from a boiler I think but after a short while, I didn't notice it. The Full English breakfast was delicious. A great value place to stay!
Pretty good all round. Parking at the back a bit challenging..
Needed an earlier than 08:30 breakfast on the Sunday as on a medic training course from 9am; chef admirably cooked some eggs up for me, which was brill. See you again in 2 weeks.
Really good value for money, Chris was great and really helpful, the pub was nice and cosy and the room was perfect for what we wanted, which was somewhere to sleep and shower as we had plans for the weekend, would definitely stay there again
A pub with character, clean, helpful staff, bathroom facilities could do with being updated, new management was taking over, a few teething problems but expected, all ready booked a room for next year and I've recommended it to others.
I have stayed here many times and will continue to do so on my visits to friends and family in Bury St Edmunds.
A special mention for Chris who has taken over the running of Westgate.
He certainly enhanced the comfort and enjoyment of my weekend there; with his welcoming and most professional attitude to all his guests.
